About the tour
Day 1, El Chorro and Rural Ronda
Your tour of Southern Spain begins here as you arrive in Malaga to collect your hire car or meet with your private driver.
Using your personalised app as a guide, drive to the Caminito Del Rey to walk the world-famous pathway, high above the gorge of El Chorro reservoir.
Stop at a traditional roadside restaurant – known as a venta– for a delicious lunch of local specialities.
Continue to your accommodation – a rural hotel nestled in the mountains of La Serranía de Ronda.
Day 2, The Sierra of Ronda
Today your Inland Andalucia Road Trip will continue with your selection of two activities.
Choose between:
- A private wine tasting in a boutique, family-owned winery, led by a local expert
- A half-day Birds of Prey Experience with a professional falconer committed to the conservation of Birds of Prey in Europe and beyond.
Return to your hotel for a post-lunch siesta, or head into the beautiful town of Ronda to explore before the start of your private walking tour.
Your personal guide will show you the delights of Ronda’s enchanting old town, the Tajo Gorge and the iconic El Puente Nuevo.
Day 3, The Landscapes of Inland Andalucia
After breakfast, pack up your belongings and embark on a stunning drive through some of Andalucia’s most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes, following the directions provided on your personalised travel app.
We will recommend prime places to stop off along the way to take photographs and enjoy the views!
For today’s activity, choose between:
- An exclusive visit to a 19th-century country estate which produces organic extra virgin olive oil in the countryside near Antequera
- Birdwatching accompanied by your own professional guide and expert “birder” – there to answer all your questions and tell you which wildlife to keep an eye out for.
After stopping for lunch at a specially selected local restaurant, travel on to the second base in your tour of Southern Spain – a rural retreat in the heart of the countryside not far from Granada.
Spend a relaxing evening enjoying its facilities and dining in its in-house restaurant.
Day 4, A Day in Nature in Rural Granada
Today on your self-guided inland Andalucia road trip, you choose how you would like to spend your day.
Choose between:
- A fully-guided country hike, where you will discover the remarkable flora & fauna contained within one of Andalucia’s areas of outstanding natural beauty.
- A chance to get those endorphins flowing with a bike ride along one of the region’s “Rails to Trails” cycling routes. These paths trace the abandoned tracks of the famous Olive Train – previously used to transport olives to the capital of Madrid.
Day 5, The Mountains of Malaga
The final day of your Southern Spain tour has arrived, so let’s make it one to remember! This morning, you will enjoy a hike through the spectacular National Park of El Torcal in Malaga Province, one of Europe’s most prized examples of a Kärst Landscape.
Marvel at the towering limestone rock-formations and breathtaking views as you follow the detailed walking route provided on your personalised app. Don’t forget your camera!
Enjoy a short drive to your final night’s accommodation in another rural idyll – a secluded country hotel not far from the bustle of Malaga. Spend the rest of the day relaxing and reminiscing about your trip.
